Feasting on Holy Thursday!
We always have a big feast on Holy Thursday. I suppose this is one of the clever tactics that my family has developed over the years in order to cope with– and build up resources for the imminent fasting on … Continue reading

As Long as Catholics Continue Feasting, Christendom Still Exists!
